In this episode, John and Kyle dive into the complexities of buying dilapidated rental

properties and the subsequent decision-making process concerning renovations and

tenant management. They underscore the importance of having a concrete investment

strategy and the implications of property improvements on long-term equity and rental

yields.

Key Takeaways:

• Investing in dilapidated rentals requires a well-thought-out strategy concerning the

renovation timeline and its impact on rental income and property value.

• Acquiring a property at a discount should factor in future repair costs; these

expenses are part of the initial capital, not unexpected losses

• The decision to refresh a rental property can greatly influence tenant retention, repair

expenses, and eventual profitability.

Quotes:

• "And I think just from experience, you should be making a decision at acquisition.

Like when we do these acquisitions, we make this decision is, do we want to freshen

up this property at the beginning or at the first turnover or over time, which we

believe is the worst, a lot of people opt to do it over time." - Kyle

• "If you know it's going to take 30, $40,000 to fix this house up... the way to look at it,

is that $35,000 still needs to be considered in the initial price." - John

• "The specifics of your strategy could be the difference in ten years down the road

having 25 rentals and having five because of cost." - John
